4month checkup

During the appt ...(aka before the shots)
after the shots - so sad :(

Today Madison had her 4month checkup with the pediatrician. She is now 15.4lbs and 26in long. She is growing wonderfully - the Dr. said that her head looked beautiful (meaning that she's getting a lot of good tummy time - no flat head for her), she also checked her vision and hearing and said that she was actually further along than most babies her age, since she can track things so well and her head control is go good. The Dr. said we can even start feeding her food... yum yum! She's also starting to teeth... well sort of, the Dr. said that at this stage the teeth could come in a few weeks or months. She's also VERY vocal, hopefully we'll hear her say momma or dadda soon!

Next was the part that we both hate... shots :( She was such a happy baby during the whole checkup until the shots. She turned bright red and started crying, it breaks my heart to see her so sad... but luckily it didn't last too long. Since I gave her some baby Tylenol before the appt, she took a long nap and then woke up as happy as can be!
